Agreed, the price is steep. I also notice ASF refuses to mention by name
other software that accepts their product line, such as Paint Shop Pro. I
wonder if Adobe owns a piece of the ASF action or has given money to ASF or
otherwise granted that company certain rights in exchange for this mum policy.

Anyway, I doubt I'll pop. Just wanted to give what feedback I could for
anyone wondering if the demo was even worth downloading.
